In recent years, many frog species around the world have declined in numbers or even gone extinct due to changes in their environment. These population declines and extinctions have serious consequences for the ecosystems in which frogs live; for example, frogs help play a role in protecting humans by eating disease-carrying insects. Several methods have been proposed to solve the problem of declining frog populations.
First, frogs are being harmed by pesticides, which are chemicals used to prevent insects from damaging farm crops such as corn and sugarcane. Pesticides often spread from farmland into neighboring frog habitats. Once pesticides enter a frog’s body, they attack the nervous system, leading to severe breathing problems. If laws prohibited the farmers from using harmful pesticides near sensitive frog populations, it would significantly reduce the harm pesticides cause to frogs.
A second major factor in frog population decline is a fungus that has spread around the world with deadly effect. The fungus causes thickening of the skin, and since frogs use their skin to absorb water, infected frogs die of dehydration. Recently, researchers have discovered several ways to treat or prevent infection, including antifungal medication and treatments that kill the fungus with heat. Those treatments, if applied on a large scale, would protect sensitive frog populations from infection.
Third, in a great many cases, frog populations are in decline simply because their natural habitats are threatened. Since most frog species lay their eggs in water, they are dependent on water and wetland habitats. Many such habitats are threatened by human activities, including excessive water use or the draining of wetlands to make them suitable for development. If key water habitats such as lakes and marshes were better protected from excessive water use and development, many frog species would recover.
The reading proposes three solutions to reduce the speed of the frog population decline. In contrast, the professor asserts that none of the writer's suggestion is practical and mentions some problems with those solutions.
First, the lecturer points out that banning farmers from useing fungicides in farms is not practical and fair. She states that if farmers in the environment in which frogs habitat were banned to use fungicids, their yield will be decreased which is not fair compare to other farmers. Strict regulations will damage farmers and cause losing more crops and decreas yield of crop, the professor avers. Wiht this explanation the lecturer directly rebuts the writer's idea which banning farmer from useing pesticide is a good solution to decrease frog's declineing population.
Second, the professor posits that treating all individuals of contaminated frog in large scale is not practical. This needs to catch and treat them individually, which is impractical. In addition, this approach will not stop transfering the fungal contamination through the frogs' offsprings. As we see, the author's suggestion about using the antifungal treatment for frog to help them survive does not hold water.
Third, the professor agrees in principal with the writer's opinion about controlling the water usage from lake and other water resources, but the author's suggestion to prohibit farmers to use water from lakes and rivers is not helpful for frogs. She mentions that the root reasons of this threat for frog natural habitat is global warming and climate changes. She posits that global warming. She explains that efven with new regualtion about water usage from lakes, the water decline in the frogs habitat will remain unsolved. This justification will repudiates the writer's proposal to save the frogs' habitat and their population.
